REQUIRED MEETING TIMES (get a pdf of this document)

Students will meet for class at 12:00–12:50 p.m. and 3:00-3:50 p.m. every Friday for presentations and lectures.

Students are also required to attend lecture GGE departmental presentations held at other times.

I understand that conflicts will arise for irregular presentation times. See grading procedures for accommodations.

See LEEPS calendar for class presentation schedule. See schedule below for other specifics. Students need to keep on top of the schedule (which can get a little messy).
